The gull I am going for a Common Gull , as legs are yellowy green and eye looks black. I am sure the sole wader is a black tailed godwit but my question is , if a bar tailed godwit is easily distinguishable as I have never seen one, and when would you see them in the UK ? Is the bird on the shore a yellow wagtail as there is no white patch on the face for the pied ? The pair of waders I first through Dunlin, but are the legs too long and the the colour too light underneath for summer. I then thought curlew sandpiper with the red brick colour neck, but I also know juvenile ruffs can look like these? Thank you
